Yes, i would because Russian dwarf hamsters are prone to diabetes but first of all i would check for more obvious reasons.
Is the bottle leaking water? Is the substrate or whatever is immediately below the bottle damp? You could try a new bottle to see if it makes a difference.
If not then i would get some keto sticks from Amazon and test the hamster's urine for glucose.
